摘要
A 74-year-old male presented with bilateral invalidating claudication. A bilateral percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) with stenting of both superficial femoral arteries was performed but complicated by an urosepsis with Escherichia coli and a septic phlebitis at the site of an intravenous line. The phlebitis was complicated by a local abcedation for which incision and drainage were performed. One month after discharge he was readmitted at our hospital with septic fever and positive hemocultures for Escherichia coli. Positron emission tomography-computed tomographic scan (PET/CT-scan) showed a mycotic aneurysm of the thoracic aorta. Because no cryopreserved donor aorta was available and the aneurysm size rapidly increased, an open in situ repair was performed with a Dacron silver prosthesis soaked in rifampicin. His recovery was further complicated by a perforated toxic megacolon for which a subtotal colectomy was performed. Further recovery was uncomplicated and 10 months after the aortic repair patient is still free from infection.
